| YouTube again uses human moderators |
Google's YouTube platform has resumed manual monitoring to check for malicious content because the automated system the company relied on to shut it down was so enthusiastic about the platform's censorship. Video format.
YouTube has made its automated system more independent to prevent users from seeing hate speech, violence, or other forms of harmful content or misinformation.
Previously, a corona outbreak prevented most of YouTube's 10,000+ administrators from operating.
YouTube's chief product officer, Neil Mohan, told the Financial Times that one of the results of fewer manual checks was an increase in the number of deleted videos, many of which were not breaking the rules.
Nearly 11 million were cut in the second quarter (April to June), which is twice as normal.
Much of the removal decisions made by the automated system were reversed after the phone calls, and around 160,000 videos were returned, half of the total number of requests, down from less than 25% in the previous quarter.
The recognition confirms the essential relationship between human mediators and AI systems that filter documents sent to major online video platforms.
Social media companies are under increasing pressure to better monitor their software. Look for toxins in widespread anti-racism protests and polarized US campaigns.
YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are updating their policies and technologies to stem the tide of disinformation related to elections and prevent hate groups from causing ethnic tension and violence.
If you don't, you risk losing advertisers because Facebook ran into an ad boycott in July. Several brands participated in the campaign and then expanded to YouTube.
YouTube will be conducting a fact-checking process in the UK and Germany this week to address the misinformation.
Mohan said: The speed with which the automated system processes the malicious content is invaluable as it can remove more than 50% of deleted videos without one watching and it can also remove more than 80% of views (less than 10).
